Support for Abshire Family in Tough Times

Abshire Go Fund Me

This is collectively written by a group of friends that cherish The Abshire Family.

Our friend, Mark Abshire, was diagnosed in late January of 2024 with colon cancer; finding 3 spots that had also metastasized to his liver. In February, the news had gotten worse; cancer was growing quickly and had spread to his lymph nodes, bones, and lungs. Radiation started almost immediately. Unfortunately, Mark’s body just wasn't strong enough and things turned bad quickly when Mark became septic and was hospitalized. Mark has fought hard for the past 5 months, but the cancer has spread just too fast and the doctors said they didn't have any options left.

Mark is home now; with Melissa being his caregiver and making sure he's comfortable for when he's called home. Mark is and had been the epitome of a provider for Melissa and their four children Keira, Kimber, Kane, and Kason. Melissa will need our help. Their family has been such a staple of our Collinsville community with the numerous sports clubs, volunteer work, Melissa a "momma bear" to so many students at our schools, and all of them friends to us and our children. Let's join together and show them how much they are LOVED and help take some financial burden off of her while she navigates this heartbreak.
